Woke in the middle of the night to the terrible terrible news that Shane Warne had died. I’m in utter shock. Inconceivable that a life crammed with so much genius and larrikin charm could be snuffed out so suddenly and so soon.
When we filmed these immortal scenes Warnie proved that he was not just a great sportsman but also a great sport. He played along with our shenanigans and we had loads of fun. He was a great pasher!
In between takes we chatted and I totally fell under the spell of the famed Warnie charm: he was thoughtful and very sweet. He was born not far from where I lived and so much of him was typical, Melbourne outer suburban boy. Except, of course, that he was blessed by the gods of cricket. My god. So blessed. But also dedicated and hard working. He taught me – or rather Sharon – how to do the flipper and recounted how he would practice that spin hundreds of times a day until he could propel a cricket ball one metre straight up into the air just by clicking his fingers. His fingers were like small tree trunks.
But mostly I remember how he spoke with such great love and pride of his beautiful kids.
This is a shocking loss for our nation and for the cricketing world
And poor Sharon has lost her hero and the love of her life
But right now my heart is with his family and his friends – and most especially with his beautiful children Jackson Summer and Brooke whom he loved so very very much
RIP Warnie 💔
sending love to you and Rod Marsh up there in cricket heaven
❤️ 🏏

Hangin with my friend Teresa. Teresa was sent to Auschwitz when she was 10 yo. Her mother died there. Her sister and father were sent to Ravensbrück. Teresa is wise & kind, without a hint of bitterness.
She & her friends continue to raise money for #asylumseekers ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Teresa’s husband was in the same Polish Resistance Unit as my father during WWII

My heart goes out to all the residents, family and workers in aged-care along with all other people caught in the snare of this terrible virus. Sending love and virtual hugs 🤗 #CovidVic 💉 #lockdown4
I got my vaccine jab just before this all hit – phew!!
Oh the joy to discover that the inimitable Virginia @thatsmsgaytoyou Gay not only loves and quotes all the exact same lines from Some Like It Hot as me – but (bonus!) also has committed to memory the same obscure but brilliant scene in the generally otherwise woeful Clue !! (Been a lotta push back on that assessment- clearly I need to watch Clue again!)
Ah, the late, great #madelinekahn

The universe has gifted us these golden mornings. Look at the morning light shining on that tree!! It’s a small delight, I know, but so beautiful it has the strength of ten!!
See if you can find some small thing that can lift your heart today
Take care, stay safe and breathe … 4 counts in, 8 counts out x3. It’s what elite military forces do to calm their nerves. #covid #lockdown #lockdown4 #thelittlethings ❤️😘🤗 #covidninja #covidcommando
The news of @sassybernard sudden passing is shocking and devastating. She was brilliant at her job and my god we had such fun on set. Her throaty laugh. Her effortless glamour. Her warm and generous heart. My deepest condolences to all who loved her. 💔💔💔
Ho ho ho!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Magda Claus!! 🎄❤️🤶🎁🎄

I’ve just seen “WUD JANG: NOT THE PAST” by @bangarradancetheatre
One of the most beautiful, powerful, heartbreaking, soul-enriching, gut wrenching and uplifting things I’ve seen. Left me gasping and the audience in stunned silence followed by a thunderous standing ovation !!
The depth of talent is extraordinary
The message visceral and timely
Thank you Stephen Page, Alana Valentine all the company….
and Elma Kris …my god! Genius🙏🏻🙌🏻
